FYI re: earlier discussion, I just saw the new issue of Newsweek with
this:

"Psychiatrists who work with older parents say that maturity can be an
asset in child rearing—older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical
discipline and spend more time with their children. . ."

How did I know that without being a psychiatrist!?
AMAZING.

(Not really. But they get to be in newsweek because they "studied it" while
I just saw it sitting where it lives. <g>)

Partly I'm razzing you, JJ, but partly it's a reminder that things CAN be
learned without being an expert.

Once I guessed that someone was probably in her mid 20's and would feel
differently about the time she turned 30. She got FURIOUS, and enough years have
passed now that she turned 30 and said "Oh! You were right." <g>

No dispute about that! But I'm tempted to razz you back -- just a
little! -- with a reminder that neither I nor anyone else ever suggested
otherwise in the recent discussion. That part seemed to be all in the ears of the
beholders, and in any case not a reminder needed by those of us who've had to
deschool even more than most before we could successfully unschool! <g> JJ

That's not exactly a shocker, is it?

I don't get your point. Could you elaborate? JJ
